While visiting home ( TX) I stopped by my every loving mom’s to catch up & to get criticized( that’s what she likes to do best). On this “delightful” trip my mom decided to reminisce about how healthy and toned I ” use to be” back in the day.Yes believe it or not I use to be a very fit & fine mama back in the day but hey that was the 19 year old with no kids me not the 30+ year old with 4 kids and a LIFE me. While alot of the time when my mom talks , it’s hurtful, this one time it was helpful. The truth is that I agree with my mom, I did use to be really active and fit before kids and even though I’m sure I have TONS of excuses I can throw out why that has changed, the bottom line is that it’s really NO excuse.

So this mama is about to do a little Nip & Tuck (naturally). Last night my ” handy dandy live in personal trainer” worked me up this wonderful new workout that fits my needs, my time ti and my goals that consist of exercises, a meal plan and a tracking system to keep me working towards my ultimate goal– to be a new fit & healthy 30+ mama!

Just the other day my 11-year-old son, came up to me and said, “Mom you look a little pregnant, I’m just saying”. Hmmm I sat there for a while and then looked down at my stomach and said in my head, “really”?! Ouch that hurt but that’s something that I love about kids, they tell the truth at all times without thinking about how you’re going to react.

So I did what most moms would do……. looked at the P90x infomercial again……just kidding, I went on a hunt to get the perfect work out routine to prove to my son that mommy ISN’T pregnant….just a little poochie.
